Amusements

As the event organiser, it is your responsibility to ensure amusement devices used or hired for your event comply with NSW WHS Regulation 2011 requirements. As the event organiser you must ensure the amusement device company has the appropriate paperwork for each amusement device i.e. evidence of a current up-to-date service logbook, manuals and a copy of the Registration Certificate provided by Safe Work NSW.

Examples of amusement devices that must be registered include:

• most powered and non-powered (manually operated) mechanical devices • inflatable devices (continuously blown) with a platform height of 3 meters or more • climbing walls • giant slides • go-karts • high ropes courses, bridge swinging, bungy jumping • miniature trains not owned and operated by a model railway society, club or association.

As part of your application, you will be required to provide the following documentation to Council with your application for approval:

• Amusement Device Company’s Public Liability Insurance • SafeWork NSW Current Registration Certificate for each amusement device • Risk Assessments for the operation of each amusement device • Contractors Licences (if applicable for site setup)
